AnimalPhotography - Bird of Prey - Please help me identify this one?

extremejogging (62) in animalphotography • 7 years ago (edited)

Sometimes it is useful to have a 300m zoom lens with you. ;) I caught this Bird of Prey on a game drive in the Addo Elephant National Park in South Africa.

Unfortunately I'm not an expert at identifying birds and I've got no idea what type of Bird of Prey this is. I did a quick Google Search and think it might be a Jackal Buzzard (Buteo rufofuscus), but I'm not sure.

Can anyone help me identify it please?

Camera: Canon EOS 400D with 300mm zoom len
Location: Addo Elephant National Park, South Africa

Keep exploring...

Looks like this guy to me, a buzzard? https://pixabay.com/en/buzzard-bird-of-prey-south-africa-534843/
I am NOT saying it looks like you used their pic, your shots are amazing.

Wow, you're right. That even looks like the same bush it is sitting on. I wonder if it was also taken in Addo National Park. If yes, it may be the same bird. ;)

I think it's a Buzzard or Common Buzzard, but I'm not sure. Nice pic!

It is a nice lens, but does not have a stabilizer... so you need to keep it VERY still to get a sharp photo.

No idea what kind of bird this is (other than obviously a bird of prey) but those are amazing shots! Good luck with the identification, and thanks for sharing these (I'm a sucker for bird photos - LOL).
